My First Attempt at non-stock

Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.

My First Attempt at non-stock

Post by Kendom »

Well... After 5 hours of ship building I came up with this:

It's the first ship for a faction that will enter the War for the universe when it gets well sized, anyway I'd like to hear some opinions and criticism.

This isn't actually Shiny, this is normal SW.
And you need to rework the ship's centerline. The overlapping bits do not look nice.

Now I see quite a bit of stretching here, or is it just my screen again?

Good: Color choices

Needs improvement: The center of the ship could be covered up by another section to hide the overlapping center line.
Also, do not resize the shipmaker window, it stretches it instead of redrawing it properly. Also, use default zoom (home key) when taking screenshots.

While I'm making more ships like this, I'm having lot's of trouble to get the right sections, it's not an ini problem, it's just, there aren't really that much ship parts with and alien fell like the one I used for this ship, and as a result it ends up looking not that great, I'm also having trouble with Detailing the sections properly.
The point of all this comment is: little help here???
